BULLETINS

If you participated in the first ARRL International Digital Contest
this past weekend, consider sending Jeff Stai, WK6I, photos and stories
about your participation to possibly be included in the contest results article. These materials should be posted to the ARRL Soapbox, or sent
directly to Jeff at wk6i.jeff@gmail.com. Jeff would particularly like
to hear from those who operated using software other than WSJT-X for
the FT4 and FT8 modes, and the reasons why they chose the software they
used.

inaugural event, with several days left until the log submission
